When a Philadelphia woman's car broke down at the Hiawatha Hunting Club on Schoolhouse Road in East Stroudsburg, she attempted to take someone else's car to so she could drive herself and her child home, according to state police.

But when she attempted to start the car, which belonged to a man from Iowa, the vehicle engaged in drive and struck two water pumps, a riding lawnmower and then a tree, police said.

Christine Marie Cappella, 33, was charged with theft by unlawful taking in the incident, which occurred at 5 a.m. Tuesday, according to police.
